What is the NERCOMP Annual Conference?
The NERCOMP Annual Conference plays a pivotal role in bringing together a community of higher education IT and library professionals to build expertise and share information on the latest issues in the field. This conference is the place to connect with peers, share successes (and struggles), and enhance our collective learning.
Programs and Tracks
The theme of this year’s conference is Think Globally, Connect Locally. Together, we’ll explore how global trends, challenges, and innovations shape our work—while grounding our conversations in the local communities, campuses, and networks where impact truly happens. We’ll reflect on our collective history and experiences, consider how our roles and institutions continue to evolve, and highlight the power of collaboration in shaping the future of higher education. Join us as we share ideas, design practical solutions, and strengthen connections that help us navigate change and spark meaningful innovation in our field.
